  1. A sub study of The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures N = 532: 279 boys, 253 girls
  2. Predicted values are calculated with mean gender and mean age at measurement in the models
  3. BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, P probability
  4. Child BMI: BMI according to the International Obesity Taskforce’s age- and sex-specific cut-off values in children 2–18 years [28]
